It got revived because I was looking for more recent info on the X-Trail, which was among the vehilces initially mentioned. Seems there is more interest in the tiny cars! Even though I think they are non-starters, other than the cube, perhaps. In Canada, Nissan has talked about cars one notch up from the minis, but they were hatches, so not much point for the US. In the US, they need a decent Sentra and the X-Trail.
